Wow, Joe you are really a "sore" winner! Who cares the positions that fans take! And, no I did not take a position on Sloter. Doesn't matter! Fellow fans support the Vikings, that's cool! The rest just does not matter. You can stop your spam campaign anytime now. It's not a good look.
Players come and players go. Only ones I'd hang my hat on are the retired guys, they're not going anywhere. I do have Thielen jersey, gotta support a home grown Viking! I thought Adam was very impressive at his first training camp, thought he had talent and may develop. Course, one doesn't dare say that on a Vikings board or the pragmatic guys will get you for thinking a player could be good.

Like IDVikingfan said "Players come and players go". The only players that matter to me right now are the 53 that are on the active roster. Should have Sloter been given the opportunity to play with the 2nd team...maybe, maybe not? Apparently not. Not our call. Everything that has happened yesterday or the day before is done. Time to move on and get ready for the real games. Whoever got cut and is no longer on the team is pretty much forgotten as far as I'm concerned. No reason to look back and dwell on it. This is just my opinion.
I used my eyes watching on TV, and added sports reporters and viking insiders to understand why Sloter was held back. He didn't have what it takes to be a COMPLETE QB.
You can bag on me for listening to PA and others, but your pretty short sighted just using the limited views on TV against guys that got the same day Sloter did. I fully understand if he can't get what he needs to in practice, how can you put him out there against tougher competition?
I think this is less about Sloter, and more about the complainers not liking Zim, Rick and Cousins.
I see Sloter as an athletic kid who has a lot to learn. 32 GMs and coaches see him that way too.
People here and other vikings sites got way to wound up about a 3rd string QB, yet again. History keeps repeating itself. Vikings fans elevate the 3rd stringer to elite status, then that QB moves on and holds the same spot in other teams line-ups.

Bagging on vikings management and coaches constantly and taking shots at Cousins is not supporting the vikings. Seriously, with how people post about the leaders on this team, how is that supporting the vikings?
I've been putting up with endless posts about how awesome Sloter is, and how we are missing the boat on him, they dished it out and now they have to take it back for a bit.

lol.....several people claimed that he would be snatched off waivers and win a superbowl, and guys like me would be sorry. The kid is on his 3rd practice squad in 4 years, hardly a path to NFL glory. No team even put a waiver claim on him, even the Raiders chose Deshon Kiser ahead of him......yet, he is still mr. wonderful.......
who were those people here? you seem to be putting a lot of shit on people that disagreed with the coaches use of Sloter in preseason and pulling retarded comments from other places to try and bolster your position. all that shit does is rile people up, enough already.
as far as PA, yeah... there is a solid source of quality information. PA is given a packet that says who he is supposed to pimp and what "hot takes" he is supposed to make, he is a shill for the team and nothing more. when was the last time you actually heard him take a position that was counter to what the coaches or GM does.... exactly... but hey, he was at practice every day.
He knows far more about the Sloter situation than you, and 31 other GMs and coaches apparently felt the same way.......at least I used all the information available to understand why Sloter didn't get more of an opportunity. If a player can't succeed in practice, how can anyone think they can succeed vs. real competition.

Yes, yes, I can see how difficult it is for you to deal with alternative points of view! Don't really have to read the threads or egg others on, right? Maybe you do, who knows or cares.
Apparently you do or you wouldn't have taken the time to post.
Ahhh, true, but I didn't start a bait thread like you or post the same thing ad naseum in other threads... We gotta put up with your posts just like you whined above about having to put up with others points of view. So you win the internet on Sloter! Good job

Putting up with what? You didnt post here for months until this Sloter stuff came up and then you come and make claims that are not connected to this board. Settle the fuck down or go back to facebook or what ever shit take board you have been pulling your opposing takes from.
If you think I am hard on Rick. Go ask njvike for a reference on me. I have stood up for Zimmer could tless times when it's been merited and ask Berzerker how I feel about Cousins.
